Synopsis

Musings on food, society and life from one of the country's best loved foodies. Includes bonus material exclusive to the audiobook.

"Are you hungry darling, shall I make you an omelette?"

My mother's omelettes are slightly overdone but always generous in cheese and well-seasoned. My omelettes are just the same, though more often slightly underdone and less carefully considered. And like my stories, they come in many forms. You might get one late at night, after a little too much wine and alongside a little too much information. I might spend a long time on one that's just a touch extravagant. And many are for the people I care about most, thrown together and with more cheese than is strictly necessary.

Collected here are things I've done, things I've seen, things I've thought, and most importantly, things I've tasted. They're slices of parts of my life. Call them omelettes, if you like. I hope you enjoy them.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Becca

As a Jessie Ware fan, from her music to her podcast, I was very excited to read her ‘foodoir’. It’s a short but sweet read made up of very short vignettes, stories of love, family and career centring around food, from different ingredients to international cuisines.

Goodreads review by Nic

Omelette is, by Jessie Ware’s own admission, a reluctant ‘foodoir’ (a memoir about food memories). It is however so much more than a book about food. It is a sparky, warm and throughly engaging set of vignettes which are loosely bound together by meals and ingredients, but more richly united with th......more

Enjoyable, easy and breezy read for lovers of food. Some poignant moment, but also some filler and fluff, with a dash of name dropping.......more

Quotes

Jessie's life seems to have seamlessly brought her forth on a magic carpet of food, peppered by lots and lots of laughs. Her stories are a joy to read, although probably not as much fun as they are to live. Deliciously entertaining.
